\ Application filed Angust 9,

This invention relates to a razor honing device, and has specialreference to that class of d'evices adapted to be held in 'on'ehandwhile the razorblade'is manipulated in the device by the other hand. Y

My invention aims to provide such a de- 'vice, wherein opposed stones orsharpening instrument-alities form a guide for a razor blade thatmaybeoscillated to first engage one stone and-then Ianother as the. blade ismoved back and forth in. the device; the relation of the stones" orsharpening instrumentalitiesbeingsuch asto insurea proper angle to theblade when shifted against the stones. My invention further aims toprovide a novel mounting for razor honing instrumentalities by whichsuch instrunientalities can be easily removed and renewed or dilierentkinds of honing instrumentalities sub V y be manipulated by the righthand, by first stituted therefor. The mounting is extreme ly simple inconstruction, easy to hold and of such size, with the honing stonestherein, that it may conveniently form part 01 a shaving kit.

My invention willlbe hereinafter de- V scribedand then claimed, andreference will now be had to the drawing wherein-e Fig. l is aperspective view of the device; v Fig. 2 is a front elevation of thesame,

partly broken away and partly in section;

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of thedevice shown in Figs. 1 and 2; i

gThe device'co nprises opposed channel holders 1 1 fol-stones 15, andthe inner end of each holder-has wings 16 adapted to be engaged bychannel shaped couplin members 17 which retain a plurality of s lime orfiller members 18 between the wings 16 of] v the holders.

correspond in length to the holders 14 with the shims 18 maintaining theholders spaced apart and the lower ends of the stones in the holders.Should the coupling members 17 become loose, on the wings 1'6,additional shims, made of paper, cardboard or any suitable material, maybe placed between the wings of the holders. H The coupling "mem-.

'bers 1Twill serve as finger pieces and faplacing one side wall of theblade in engage inent with one of the stones and then in engagement withthe other stone the edge of drawing the blade in one direction or movthe blade can be sharpened and honed by ing itback and forth against thestones of.

the honing device. There is no danger of the" razor blade cutting eitherof the hands when properly manipulated and no danger of the blade beingplaced too acute angle relative to either stone when sharpening Whatlclaim is A sharpening device wherein a blade is adapted to be moved atsubstantially'a right angle to the longitudinal axis of said device,said device comprising opposed, channel shaped holders havingoutturnedexten sions at one end forming wings, stones in said holders,filler pieces interposed between the, wings of one holder-andthe-wings'ot the other holder and" extending between said stones tospace said holders apart, and U- shaped linger pieces clamping thefiller pieces between the holder wings by engaging outer walls of saidholder wings. In testimony whereof I afiix my si nature.
